At that end of the day, Gally excused Poe and he was finished for Builders. Gally stated that he'll let him know how he did Builders at the Gathering. Poe had doubts he'll become a Builder, he didn't want to be a Builder, Builder seemed a much harder job in the Glade and it was a lot of work.
Poe had to go to Med-jacks for his arm, he couldn't move it, he hold it against his chest to keep it still because it was painful to move it even just an inch. When he arrived and Jeff was the one treating him. When the Keeper of Med-jacks finished examining Poe's arm, he claimed that Poe will need a cast and a sling which made him feel disappointed.
While Jeff was putting cast around Poe's arm, Nick came in, "Dude, what happened?"
Poe sighed, "Had an accident during Builder Trials" he didn't want to tell him that it was no accident, he knew Nico had caused it and was probably the one who pushed Jack toward the ladder that Poe was on.
"Was it an accident?" Nick frowned, folded his arms on his chest. Of course he would know something like this would happen when Poe reached Builders because of Nico.
Poe looked at the leader, giving him a stern look and an honest look, "Yes, it was an accident. Jack just tripped, ask him or Gally about it"
Nick looked at Poe like he was lying. He knows, he knows Poe is lying. It would be ridiculous and pathetic if he told Nick what happened, even if he did, they'll be punishing Nico and that would make him and Poe even. But no, for some reason it's stupid to tell the leader and have Nico in trouble. It's like telling your parents that someone is bothering you and they want some justice or something. It'd make Poe feel like a little bitch who tells his parents about someone tormenting him.
"An accident, huh?" Nick stared at Poe.
The boy nodded in response. "Yeah" he looked down at his arm and watched Jeff was putting cast around it.
"You know, Poe?" Nick took a step closer, "If anyone— anyone gives you trouble, don't be afraid to tell me, alright?"
When he said anyone, Poe was sure he meant Nico. Instead of rebuffing or scoffing, he nodded and said, "Yeah, I'll keep that in mind" Poe didn't promise at all.
"Okay—" Nick nodded, dropped his hands to his sides, "see ya both around"
"Later" Jeff waved and Poe waved bye as well.
Poe didn't say anything for another long moment until he made sure Nick was really gone. He let out a sharply exhale, "Is he always this caring?"
"Well, he's the leader" Jeff shrugged, "it is his sort of job to care as well"
